[s-cars] Intermittant stalling: resolved

[Robert Myers]

True, Dave.  The CPS did not throw a code.  Shoulda but didn't.  In 
fact the only consistent code I got was one indicating no signal from 
engine speed sensor.  Uh...  Well duh.  The engine wasn't running so 
of course there should be no such signal.

I procrastinated for quite a while on that repair.  The directions I 
had started with "remove the entire front end of the car" and 
escalated from there.  The car sat for several months.  I was too 
leery of doing it myself and too cheap to pay for flatbedding the car 
120 miles to the wrench.

Fortunately, Aaron Walizer stopped by with a problem of his own and I 
told him about my CPS problem.  Now Aaron is an Audi wrench and says, 
"It's just a 45 minute job.  Would you like me to change it for 
you?"  Now how long do you suppose it took me to blurt out "YES!"  ;-)

45 minutes later the car was running again.
